YARMOUTH BAR, N.S. —

A $1-million roadwork infrastructure project at Yarmouth Bar that was initially expected to be finished in early April has a new completion date of late June/early July.

Work – which is being carried out by the provincial Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal – includes replacement of the causeway bridge leading to Cape Forchu, along with maintenance of the seawall and placement of armour stone.

The work was needed as the existing bridge and seawall had degraded over the decades.
